You're a friend to me
You don't show your teeth when no one shows you respect
And your house a tree, I reckon this is a wreck
Your human face asking me home
Such a sight for my sore eyes
No bitter taste left on your tongue
Keep like this you'll be fit for the flies
It's a cheap trick, but you got some sleeves now don't you
Hope you went out with a last kick
Did you cross your T's or did you run out of ink
Your loudest name fresh on my tongue
Lost in leaves, you slept in your coat
I've never seen you look so shy
Just for tonight, but
Hey, Radley, don't be so swell
Done before it started, maybe you tried to tell me,
"You don't have to worry" and "I'm too old to try"
"You don't have to treat me, but just keep me right."
